We support the Oklahoma Buck Forage test because it measures the performance of the animals. Every goat breeder has " good goats ". No one breeds substandard livestock. It is easy to say the goats are top quality, but harder to prove. There have been a lot of " good goats " we have bought with hard earned money through the years that just didn't make it.
Some of the prettiest, fattest, well-built does were dead 60 days later - parasites took them. We thought these does would give us years of kids with little or no trouble. Well, it is easy to tell folks you have tough, durable goats. We like to support it with more than just our assurances. We like to know some of our goats were compared to bucklings from all over the country.
There are several tests around the country. We appreciate all the sponsors and people working to facilitate the tests.
